Hot & Lean Pockets Breakdown

April 30, 2007

I don't know what it is about Hot and Lean Pockets, but people love them. Maybe it's how easy they are to prepare, but the truth is that ease is not always healthy (I'm thinking fast food, candy bars, etc). Sorry to burst your lunch (or snack if you're really hungry) bubble, but here are the breakdowns for your favorite frozen stuffed sandwiches.

Hot Pocket (1)	Calories	Fat (g)	Sodium (mg)	Sugar	Carbs (g)
Four Cheese Pizza, No Meat	390	20	800	11	44
Beef & Cheddar	360	17	820	8	42
Cheeseburger	340	14	700	14	43
Turkey, Ham & Cheese	300	13	740	8	37
Chicken with Cheddar & Broccoli	300	11	590	9	41
Steak Fajita	280	11	780	11	34

The lean pockets are just about the same nutritional info as one of the weight watchers smart ones versions of a pocket - and they are MUCH cheaper when there are no sales.

Thanks for noticing the error kaubz, I fixed the error in the post! And you're right 740 grams of sugar would be ridiculous :)

for the Turkey, Ham & Cheese on, i think you mixed up the sugar and the sodium. I doubt it has 740g of suger and on 7 mg of sodium.

good thing I have never been a big fan!!

The sodium content is crazy high! I think it probably takes as much time to microwave one of these as it does to make a sandwhich!

i used to LOVE the chicken and bacon one, and the chicken quesedilla one. however, try the ultra pockets!! they have awesome nutritionals!

Its not all that healthy but when it comes down to someone going to McD 's and getting a Big mac, fries and a huge soda or eating a Lean pocket I say that the lean pocket looks mighty healthy in comparison.

Jim Gaffigan says it best about these things: "I imagine the directions go something like this - 'Take out of package and place directly in toilet.' Flush pocket!"You'd be better off eating the actual food the Hot Pockets are trying to mimic. Nasty pocket!
